The current situation index was below the forecast as well: 85.4 against 86.0. As a result, the EUR/USD pair dropped to the minimums of $1.3852. At the same time the US dollar was supported as a result of the forecasts of the FRS statement, which was expected to announce the improvement of the US labor market. Greenback was also supported as a save-heaven currency after the announcement of the possible radiation contamination risk as a result of the earthquake in Japan. Explosions at the nuclear power plant in Japan, as a result of the devastating earthquake, supported the yen as a save-heaven currency. Bank of Japan continued to support national finances of the country. Additional 5 trillion yen were injected into the financial system.
Swiss Frank received considerable support as a save-heaven currency and reached historical maximum against the greenback at the level of 0,9137 on Tuesday.
Trading dynamics changed during the American session after the release of the FOMC meeting results. The interest rate was left at the previous level of 0.25% and will be kept at this level unchanged for a “considerable period of time”. The QE2 program was left at the volume of $600B. As a result, the US dollar has lost its attractiveness and the EUR/USD pair grew to the $1.4012 level.
On Wednesday the euro showed decrease after the release of the Moody’s credit rating for Portugal, which was reduced from A1 to A3 with the negative forecast. Concerns over the European budget crises reinforced again. The EUR/USD pair dropped to the minimums of $1.3925. On the same day the USD/JPY pair set a 16-year minimum today at the level of Y76,73 due to the growing concerns regarding the risks of radiation leaks in Japan.
On Thursday the EUR/USD pair showed minimums at the level of $1.3870 during the Asian trading session. Maximums were reached at the level of $1.4054 due to the announcement that Spain sold bonds for 3219 billion euro of the year 2021 and for 911 billion euro of the year 2041. At the same time the GBP/USD pair demonstrated maximum at the $1.6120 mark. European session brought sterling to maximums of $1.6170. The speculations over the possibility that Britain could start an air attack on Libya supported the growth of the pound.
